CamTuner for Riverside
Record framed, centered video in Riverside studios. CamTuner crops and zooms your webcam in the browser before Riverside records it.
Riverside records high-quality local video, which means your framing mistakes are preserved in the recording too. A distant, off-center camera is much more painful in a podcast cut than in a live call.
CamTuner fixes the framing at the source — inside the browser, before Riverside's recorder captures anything. Crop to 16:9, zoom in, center yourself once, and both the live studio view and the local recordings show the framed version.
Does CamTuner work with Riverside?
Riverside in the browser
Works. CamTuner adjusts the camera stream inside the browser before the platform receives it.
No desktop app to worry about

Riverside reads best with a 16:9 frame. See exactly how to set it up in our crop to 16:9 guide, or try your framing live in the demo on the homepage.
Good to know
Local recordings capture the framed feed
Riverside records the browser stream locally — the same one CamTuner adjusted — so your uploads and backups keep the framing.
Tune before you join
Set your framing before entering the studio so the device check and the first take are already right.
Riverside + CamTuner FAQ
Will Riverside's recordings include my CamTuner framing?
Yes. Riverside records the stream inside the browser, after CamTuner's adjustments, so local recordings and uploads keep your crop and zoom.
Does CamTuner reduce Riverside's recording quality?
No. CamTuner processes frames on your device with near-zero added latency and doesn't change the resolution Riverside requests beyond your crop.
Should guests install it too?
For a consistent show, yes — each participant's framing is set on their own device, so every guest who wants to look centered needs the extension installed in their Chrome.
